Welcome to Cruise-Chat! I'd say you have a great itinerary and exceptional pricing on that cruise. The Chilean Fjords will be photo ops and memories you'll enjoy for a lifetime. As far as the Dream, I'll leave that discussion to others but encourage you to read through reviews of the ship for more info from those who have cruised her.

We sailed on the Dream and found it to be a good ship...not a great ship....we had an inside cabin and it was largest inside room of any ship we've been on.....the buffet is small and has a sports bar attached....not much room to sit and eat, the two main diningrooms are small and the middle one is rather inconvient..with foot traffic cutting thru it to get to their 9th deck rooms....the food was good and the crew were great....it was a smaller ship that was stretched....so areas are chopped up.....but I would go to South America on her in a heart beat:-)....Happy Cruising....I did do a review on the Dream at Cruise Reviews.com....

Bob, the post above is the most accurate and detailed description of the Dream of ever read. I never know quite how to pass on the pros and cons of such a ship. I'm glad I passed on giving my impression. I would not have come close to providing such a spot on review.

Just like cruises...there isn't such a thing as a BAD ship...some are just BETTER than others...and it's FUN learning the difference...
The one problem is that when you think you've found out the difference...they come up with all the new ships...but the fun is in the TRYING...Happy Cruising to all and to all a GOOD cruise.
